im 16 and i have been raised around guns. i think that if a kid is raised around guns that they are able to handle them responsiblely with proper instruction

well not every kid i think!there were many cases of kids blowing them selfs by dads fire arm.

In NJROTC we use M16s and M9s almost every day (we're based at a Navy reserve center.) Most of the cadets are able to fully strip, clean, and reassemble an M16. No one has been shot yet. If kids are responsible enough, there is no reason why we shouldn't be allowed to own/use firearms.

What i am trying to say that not every kid is to handle a gun properly if given,when two guys fight one puuls a gun and FINISHES the other one,it more about controling your emotions with gun in your hand than responsibility!!

Thats a good prof(lol)

precisely. I learned how to clear a rifle when I was 6. I fired my first shot when I was 5.( Double barrel shotgun, didn't know it was a dual stage trigger )
I like to think that my being raised with weapons made me all the better today.

Ahh ok but,ah nothing cant go against the system i guess

I think it is up to a parent on whether a kid should have a gun or not. On the same note hopefully that is a responsible parent and not somone who is givin the kid a gun so the kid will leave them alone. The kid has nothin to do with the siuation, if he/she is raised right then there wouldnt be a problem.

Now you are making claims without proof.... I'd like to know what you think isn't reality in that documentary.

well, truth be told, i have 4 guns of my own, and im saving up for another one.
